Thousands of squatters along the Coast face prolonged waits for government resettlement as no funds were allocated for this initiative.
During a regional tour, President William Ruto stated the government had set aside Sh1.5 billion for the exercise and tasked county governors with identifying land.
The President assigned Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho to lead the process.
However, the Senate Land, Environment, and National Resources Committee revealed the government had not allocated funds to purchase land.
